      Good and evil inside and outside the frame

      Ahmed's behavior/camera movement is always "restricted" by the objective environment. While the "authenticity" of the space is prominent, (one shot records a complete action) the audience keeps questioning the correctness of his actions?

      The objectivity of the screen/the subjectivity of the characters, the visible/invisible people and things in the mise-en-scene are invited/rejected from the frame - the god who is never visible VS the emotion that is deliberately blind;...

      It is natural for children to be smart and well-behaved, but it is more important to have the correct three views and thinking methods

      The French film "Young Ahmed" is a play by this child who believes in Islam. This neat and tidy, intelligent and gentle descendant of Arab immigrants can be said to be able to integrate into European society, but he is deeply caught in the quagmire of "fundamentalism". Destruction story. The movie not only makes the audience feel sorry for the child, but also deeply thinks about such social issues.

      There is nothing wrong with the Arabs abroad who let their children learn...

      Almighty Allah! Please give me the magic power! "Young Ahmed"

      Cinema Good Read

      As a film that explores how the Islamic faith affects the hearts of believers, the Dutton Brothers' "Young Ahmed" definitely stands out among many similar films. Trying to turn the adult story by inserting his ungodly Arabic teacher, in the eyes of the people around him, he is definitely a weirdo, but as a devout Muslim, he is the hero in his own story, and the people around...

      Ahmed's true thoughts

      Ahmed doesn't seem to have his own mind in the whole film - at least in the first half, he is brainwashed by the imam to become an extreme Muslim; but in the second half of the film, Ahmed suddenly has His own thoughts - he tried to kill again, and he was smarter than before, he pretended that he had truly repented and carefully crafted the murder weapon. He was stupid and had no discernment ability, and how did he insist on assassinating the teacher-he seemed to be shaken before. In...

      Young Maid feels (respects all beliefs)

      What is an orthodox religion and what is a cult, the spirit of preaching can be argued. What is God, what is demon. God is the God of Purdue all beings, and the devil is the devil who does not argue between black and white. Young Ahmed paid great homage to Allah and found a refuge from family problems in the Qur'an. All his movements are full of ritual, and he wants to be a pure Muslim. There are always conservatives and openists in all denominations, and he is obviously on the side of...

      The moment the girl teased Ahmed to laugh, the extreme religion has already lost to a certain extent, and the sound of the iron bars at the end is like the church bells are...

      The Danne brothers who have achieved great success are admirable for the fact that they shoot such sensitive extreme religious issues. The great thing is that they are no different from the boys and girls in the previous films. Although they completely follow the familiar method, it is also a great challenge. , Let the movie go beyond reality and believe it, and try to understand and clearly give your own point of view. If the pagans don’t think about how much, it is only relative in the eyes...

    "Le jeune Ahmed" is the Dardenne brothers' return to the cinematic approach they knew and excelled at, and which made so many of their classic predecessors: capturing the bodies of non-professional actors, the details of their movements to create their characters, the state of the characters in the face of adversity and how they reacted to it.
